Abstract
The invention includes a tool for adjusting the timing of eccentrics on a crankshaft connected by an infinitely variable, pressure actuated connection. In cases where there is more than a single adjustable eccentric on the crankshaft, it is preferable that all of the eccentrics display the same timing characteristics relative to the crankshaft. If one eccentric has a location or timing different than that of the other eccentrics, the tool and method is used to adjust such eccentric to place it back into its preferred location and timing relative the crankshaft and other eccentrics.
